“As you know, 2022 was a tough year for the crypto sector, with the bankruptcy of large crypto exchanges and altering macroeconomic situations,” Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier said in a post about the Series C extension round. “In this challenging climate, Ledger has continuously demonstrated remarkable resilience and expanding acceptance for our hardware and services businesses.We’ve watched the market swing up and down, and some wonder whether crypto should exist at all, but our dedication to blockchain innovation has been steadfast,” he continued.
According to Bloomberg, the Paris-based Ledger will finish a second investment round in the middle of April, with a third possible depending on demand. Returning backers 10T, CapHorn Invest, Morgan Creek Capital, and Cathay Innovation participated in the round.
